Not enough press on it honestly.

Honestly 2 mil shouldn't be the target.  You want 4 mil for the "mod tools" and I don't see it getting there without
a lot more publication.  There's at least $15K in people wanting more details before they will donate on the forums.
About half that in overseas folks that are having issues.

Still cannot register or pledge for some reason, I am stuck on the register screen.

I hope the game wont be blurry, as Cryengine 3 games tend to be.

Re: Robert Space Industries. From the Wing commander + sequels makers
I have to say, at 875k now 6 to 7 days in, that's not bad at all considering the trouble with the site before and so many people still untapped. I do think it's good to try to spread the word regarding the development of this game and the need for fan support to show the interest in the genre which might benefit us here as well. I haven't been able to donate yet, but will get to it once I have the ability to, thinking of going for a relatively high pledge.
I'm all about getting the most out of games, so whenever I discover something very strange or push the limits, I upload them here:

This is, among other things, a test to see how wrong the general concensus of the gaming industry about space sims not being profitable really is. So to me the decision whether to pledge some cash or not isn't just about wanting to play that game, it's really about hoping the genre can be resurrected. So I really hope they manage to hit the best case scenario in crowd funding.

903k @ the moment. 7 days. They could hit 3 million by this rate.

They could - though that number will probably rise more slowly the more time has gone by. Still, some people might decide to upgrade their pledge once it's over the $2 million mark. Hoping for the best.

I fully agree with you, that's also what I was trying to convey when I said that it would benefit us at HLP as well. Hope everyone can spread their influence around a little and inform other people they know to pledge, even if it's just the 10 dollar one as it counts as another 'Fan' of the space sim genre.

The idea is that Chris Roberts' team can use the higher numbers of fans and the money raised as leverage to convince their big investor(s) to invest the funds and trust necessary to make the game - the higher the pledge total the more RSI might receive as an investment.

Re: Robert Space Industries. From the Wing commander + sequels makers
Keep in mind it won't even be an MMO right away.  Their timeline puts it at 12 months before they release the multiplayer alpha and 18 months before the campaign is released.  It'll be around 30 months before the MMO portion is finalized.

The numbers may be off but the single player stuff definitely comes between the multiplayer alpha testing and the final release.

Re: Robert Space Industries. From the Wing commander + sequels makers
It's not supposed to be a MMO, more of a single player with some MMO elements - meaning you'll be able to have friends join you as wingmen in some missions, possibly trade with them, etc. I don't think they were aiming for a full MMO experience. At least I hope they weren't.

As I feared, the collected money figure is starting to increase at a slower rate. There's also only about 10,000 space sim fans that actually pledged, which isn't a number that's going to convince the suits they were wrong, when they can sell something like Modern Warfare 3 in 1.5 million copies on the first night it's out. The fact the collected money is close to $1 million is more of a testament to the hardcore nature of space sim fans who are, in a large part, willing to donate quite a bit of money to play what Roberts is promising. But I'm afraid 10,000 gamers isn't a figure that proves us right. Since they have well over three weeks of crowd funding left, they should start exploring every venue of marketing to bring in more people. And do something about that.. erm.. "oldshool" (trying to find a polite way of saying it) website.

Re: Robert Space Industries. From the Wing commander + sequels makers
On the video, they mentioned "what we call a 'combat instance'". Now to me, that feels a lot like the sort of one-off combat mission thing that would happen between a massive map/inventory based front end interface. :shaking:

Re: Robert Space Industries. From the Wing commander + sequels makers
my interpretation of the presentation stream is that the combat instance only applies to the MMO side to help with managing who is involved in a combat and stuff like processor loads as he describes it as two ships (I am presuming player) crossing paths in the game and shooting starts between them.

I hope so,  I just don't want it to be all 2D with teeny tiny Mace Griffon scale space engagements interwoven.
